Jackie Goldschneider is opening up about her feud with Real Housewives of New Jersey co-star Teresa Giudice.
Goldschneider admits that she is ready to confront Giudice at the upcoming RHONJ season 11 reunion, but notes that she hopes the two are able to discuss the topic of the rumors Giudice said about her husband Evan, in a “respectable way.”
“I’m thinking about the reunion every day. Obviously, we’re gonna address the issues, but I want it to be done in a respectable way,” Jackie said during a recent appearance on Betches’ “Mention It All” podcast, according to Us Weekly. “And I don’t want my family dragged anymore — I just think that’s very below the belt. I know I’m gonna get into it with Teresa, but I’m hoping she keeps it above board and does not try to drag my husband down anymore and isn’t super vicious, because I just don’t feel like that’s necessary for a reality show. We can keep it above board and still have plenty of drama.”
During her interview, Jackie defended herself for bringing up Gia during her heated sit-down with Giudice.
“I have to defend myself, but I don’t want to be vicious in return. There’s also a double standard.” She explained, “Clearly she can say whatever she wants. I can’t even mention the name of anyone in her family or I get attacked. I’m just hoping it’s not taken to that level.”
As for where Jackie stands when it comes to her relationship with Teresa, it all comes down to how her family feels. On the podcast, Jackie clarified that her husband has to feel comfortable being on the show, which he didn’t once the rumor started.
She elaborated, “We decided we’re done with this rumor. If she wants to keep it going, you do you, Teresa. We are done with it and I was moving on. And I’m okay with being in the room with somebody and being cordial and not having a vicious fight, so that was my mindset. I’m not gonna let one person ruin the rest of my season.”
As to what viewers can expect the rest of the season between her and Teresa, Jackie teased, “[Teresa and I coming face to face] did not go as I thought it would. But the season does take a turn after that. I will just say. And at least, for me, it was a lot more fun. The second half of the season was a lot more fun. It’s such a great season.”
If you recall, the drama between the two began when Teresa alleged that Jackie’s husband, Evan Goldschneider, was unfaithful to her with someone at his gym during the Wednesday, February 17, premiere. After Goldschneider learned that Giudice was making these claims about Evan at his birthday party, Jackie asked Teresa to admit that she was lying.
Things between the two got more intense and heated when Jackie compared the cheating claims about Evan to rumors that Teresa’s eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, “snorts coke in the bathroom” at parties. Teresa stormed off and called Goldschneider the ‘c-word’ multiple times.
